Our ability to trust in institutions and in one another — the ability to trust that we are subject to the same facts, even living in the same reality — is now endangered. A combination of causes has brought us to this point, a crisis of trust that has the potential to be paralyzing.

As trust crumbles, the overall stability of the market is jeopardised.

Trust dies but mistrust blossoms.

When trust is lost, a nation's ability to transact business is palpably undermined.

A man without trust might as well be dead.

If you cannot trust yourself, you cannot even trust your mistrust of yourself - so that without this underlying trust in the whole system of nature you are simply paralyzed

Excess of politeness paralyzes; the lack of it brutalizes.

What paralyzes life is lack of faith and lack of courage. The difficulty lies not in solving problems but in expressing them correctly; and we can now see that it is biologically undeniable that unless we harness passion to the service of spirit there can be no progress. Sooner or later, then, and in spite of all our incredulity, the world will take this step — because the greater truth always prevails and the greater good emerges in the end.

It is not failure itself that holds people back; it is the fear of failure that paralyzes you.

Trust is harder than friendship.

I fear we might be losing the basic human facility to be alone - and with that you throw out independent decision-making, what to trust, what not to trust, key stuff, a perilous loss.

One act of betrayal can shatter a lifetime of trust.

There was no trust anywhere in the world, O my brothers, the way I could see it.

When we lose faith in our officers of the law, it harms all of as. It cripples our criminal justice system. It threatens the most vulnerable parts of our community. It allows money and power to subvert justice.
